Ever since yesterday, my throat had been feeling bad. I also started getting rather frequent headaches (headaches are rare for me). When I woke up this morning, the throat got worse. I was stunned at my voice. I don't know if it's called a sore throat. Yesterday, my throat felt very dry, so I decided to drink more water. But each time I swallowed, there was this weird, slightly painful feeling around my throat. It's not the type I normally get with a sore throat. It's less painful but rather irritating. I spent the first half of today coughing and the next half sneezing. Each time I coughed, my head hurt. It felt like someone was trying to compress my brain or stuff something under my skull.

While doing violin practice today, Jean suddenly barged into my room. Oh yea, sometimes when I'm doing violin practice and someone suddenly opens the door, I get such a shock my bow literally bounces off the string. I wonder if this is called intense concentration. Anyway, Jean started promoting her calculator and asked me if I wanted to adopt it. She bought a new one because she thought she lost hers. In actual fact, that was a very timely investment. I was reminded of my ageing calculator's frequent breakdowns, so I decided to take in the new one. I'll start using it to get used to it in case my old, white one suddenly slips into brief comas during prelims. I don't think I should start disturbing everyone by bashing up my calculator until it wakes up. That's like public humiliation - on my calculator's part.

I was intending to finish up AM homework, but I left my exercise book in school. I'm the type who can't split a single assignment on different mediums. What is done on exercise book has to be completed there. Ah well. That means I'm quite free tonight.
